Sprint Looking for Fans to Introduce their Favorite Driver for All-Star Event

Sprint and NASCAR are always looking for new and exciting ways to involve fans in the sport they love so dearly. A recently announced promotion will take that commitment to an entirely new level, allowing them to introduce their favorite NASCAR Sprint Cup driver during the Sprint All-Star race on May 19th.

Sprint has given NASCAR fans the opportunity to vote their favorite Sprint Cup driver into the field of the Sprint All-Star race for several years now. That has not changed. If your favorite is not already part of the field, fans will once again have the ability to vote them in by going to NASCAR.com/All-Star via the NASCAR Sprint Cup mobile Android application on their Sprint phone. They can also text "VOTE" to 229466 on any wireless carrier through May 19th at 5pm. The driver, not already qualified for the event, with the most votes will earn a spot in the All-Star race, and a shot at the one million dollar winner's purse.

This year, in addition to voting their favorite driver in, fans will also have the opportunity to actually introduce them prior to the race. Fans can go to Sprint.com/SPEED, today through May 6th, and submit a brief video which could be used as their favorite driver's introduction at the Sprint All-Star race. A select panel will choose the video to be used for each driver. Those videos will not only be seen on the high-definition video board at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but also carried during Speed Channel's live coverage.

Videos will be judged on originality, creativity, and enthusiasm. The fan whose video is selected will not only get the honor of introducing their favorite driver on television, they will also receive a custom autographed NASCAR Sprint All-Star race helmet. Pretty cool stuff, to say the least.

In past years fans whose favorite driver was already guaranteed a spot in the Sprint All-Star race were left out, gladly so. This year, whether your favorite driver is Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Busch, or even New Jersey's own Martin Truex Jr., all fans will be able to potentially participate, through the video introduction.

This is the perfect opportunity to show the world just how passionate New Jersey NASCAR fans can be. First, make sure you vote your favorite driver into the Sprint All-Star race, then make an introduction video that sets you apart, and who knows you just may tune into the race on Speed Channel and see someone very familiar. You!

Remember, NASCAR.com/All-Star on your Sprint phone, or text "VOTE" to 229466 on any other wireless carrier to vote for your favorite driver. To submit your video go to Sprint.com/Speed.
